Slay Queen!
Sabrina Carpenter has clapped back at comments her image and brand are "offensive."
If ya didn't know, songwriter and producer trio Pete Waterman, Mike Stock and Matt Aitken (Known for working with the likes of Kylie Minogue, Donna Summers and John Travolta) claimed the stars image is "too raunchy" and she’s "setting back women’s rights."
Mike went on to say: "They’ve [women] won all of their freedoms and their rights, women. They fought for everything they’ve got and now they’re throwing it away, is the way I would look at it."

Mike added: "I would never try to write a lyric that said anything specific on a sexual level. You’d always be allegorical or allude to it somehow."
Speaking to The Sun, the 'Espresso' singer hit back: "My message has always been clear: if you can’t handle a girl who is confident in her own sexuality, then don’t come to my shows."
"Female artists have been shamed forever. In the Noughties it was Rihanna, in the Nineties it was Britney Spears, in the Eighties it was Madonna — and now it’s me."
"It’s essentially saying that female performers should not be able to embrace their sexuality in their lyrics, in the way we dress, in the way we perform."
"It is totally regressive. It’s like those who want to shame don’t make comments when I talk about self-care or body positivity or heartbreak, which are all normal things a 25-year-old goes through."
"They just want to talk about the sexual side of my performances."
